Courses

The depth and diversity of our curriculum offer undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to pursue Korean studies through the lens of many different disciplines ranging from anthropology to economics. In addition, the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures offers a complete curriculum in Korean language covering four full years of modern Korean.

Course offerings range widely by term to term depending on faculty availability, departmental needs, and student interests. Many courses are offered on a regular schedule, e.g. every year or every other year. In addition, Korea-related courses are also offered as a part of "topics" courses.
